So for the last few days I've been really busy with my summer courses and I've needed to stay up late because I underestimated the time that was required to do one of my assignments. Usually I'd just pick up some smaller energy drinks or have some coffee, but because of this diet, I took another look around Walmart to see if anything matched up correctly. Lo and behold, I saw this stuff:
Monster's "LO-CARB" energy drink. Sounded great for a diet where you're trying to watch your carbs, right? So I bought a pack and over the last couple days I've had them. They REALLY gave me some energy, so I thought that it must just be a great product.
After drinking the last can, I took a look at the ingredients.
The number 2 non-medicinal ingredient listed was sucrose. As in sugar. As in a very simple carbohydrate with a glycemic index of 67-68. No wonder it was giving me so much energy, the "LO-CARB" version of this energy drink is full of carbs.
Probably set me back a couple of days. Tasted really bad too, not worth the price at all.
